E1.04 - Drone Recover Rover

Airogistic

Autonomous ground based rover that uses object detection, LIDAR, and GPS to achieve drone recovery. The rover uses these systems to find the crashed drone and navigate to them. Once the rover has reached the drone, the robotic arm on the rover reaches out to pick up the drone. Once the drone has been recovered, the rover returns to the race stand to return the drone to it's owner. This rover will improve the functionality of the DRONEDOME as a racing arena and prevent the need of humans entering the race area.
